    What's the crappiest place in the UK?

    Tranmere is not too bad as its in Prenton, but Birkenhead is one of the most awful places ever. I believe in the late 90's early 00's The North End Estate was branded the worst in the country by a few red tops for all the shenanigans that went on.

    What's the crappiest place in the UK?

    Birkenhead is pretty grim, especially the North End.

    Which movie(s) have you watched recently?

    A colleague was talking a few days ago about a film from 1984 called Threads, he recommended it to watch. Disturbing, harrowing but a good piece that came across very powerfully.

    What have you been smoking on bbq?

    Just ordered the Aldi Kamado BBQ, really wanted one of these types of bbq for ages but with some costing well North of a grand I could never justify it. A friend bought the Aldi one last year and I went to have a look at it and it's a fantastic piece of kit for the money (£399). The build...

    Equipment For Sale Swing Top Bottles.

    160 500ml Amber Swing Top Bottles. Used about 3 times, clean and in boxes. Moved on to kegging most of my beer so need to clear them out. Collection only from Disley, Stockport. Would cost about £150 new so I think £50 is a fair price. (now free) Cheers Adam 🍻

    Car tax & insurance.

    That certainly wouldn't have been the issue with him bring refused. A soft search doesn't show up to any potential lender.

    Car tax & insurance.

    Using comparison sites doesn't affect your credit rating at all. When you use any insurance company for a quote they will do a soft search which shows up only for you on your report. Only hard searches when you apply for loans, credit cards or finance show up to other lenders which then could...

    The 'Recommend me a TV series' thread

    Currently about half way through the documentary series "The Man who bought Cricket" on Sky documentaries. Its about Allen Stanford the guy who offered a $20 million dollar prize for a game of cricket. Quite interesting to see how he got to where he was and then it all falling apart.

    Air friers and the like

    Another Ninja 9 in 1 convert here. An absolutely fantastic bit if kit. The way it cooks whole chickens and various joints of meat is brilliant. It makes fantastic chips also. The slow cooker mode is also really good for stews etc. I would highly recommend one to anyone.

    Automatic gearbox

    I had manual in all my cars up until the current Skoda Kodiaq which has a 7 speed auto in it, I would now never go back to manual, it just makes driving so easy, also couple it with adaptive drive assist mode makes it even better. I've got an EV arriving in March so I doubt I'll ever own a...

    Covid - Plan B & Omicron

    I think it's fair to say opinion is split. But I think people saying "just because they do it, I wouldnt" are missing the point. Consistently throughout this pandemic the government have either lied, given false promises, used very skewed data and eroded basic civil liberties without...

    Covid - Plan B & Omicron

    From nearly every person I've spoken to they can announce whatever restrictions they like but people are just not going to follow them this time. The whole debacle of Christmas parties at Downing Street and the wine and cheese "work meeting" has meant most have had enough. We have plans...

    Mangrove Jacks Pils (Craft Series)

    I got the kit and a 1.2kg of lme for £23 which for 40 odd pints of good quality pilsner seems a good deal to me. 🍺

    Covid - Plan B & Omicron

    Just to add my very recent experience, all 3 of my boys caught Covid from school. Obviously me and the wife expected to get it too however we never did, our boys are still very young so they are climbing all over us etc so very close contact but nothing. We did 2 pcr's and an lft everyday and...

    Mangrove Jacks Pils (Craft Series)

    I have done this kit very recently as I wanted it as my beer for Christmas. It took about 11 days in my bucket and came out at 4.6%. Had my first bottle last night and I'm very impressed, a very nice Czech pilsner, I'm a big fan of Urquell and for me this was just as good. I left it to condition...

    When you actually look into cricket and the characters that inhabit that world its a very horrible place. Just today the Australian captain had to resign over lurid text messages sent to a colleague, numerous cheating/game fixing scandals. When you read some of what use to go on that has been...
